Question Stars – Before Reading , During Reading , After Reading
This useful resource is part of the comprehensive unit plan, Asking Questions. The questions stars, which can be printed in coloured cardboard and stuck on paddle pop sticks, act as great question prompts to strengthen comprehension when reading. The questions starts include questions for before, during and after reading and would be a great whole class or small group activity.
